Is K& E rolling basis?

Is there any point applying to DLA for their summer internship if they have a rolling deadline and it closes on the 21st? Surely too late at this stage

Lol your username love it. Award for the best username haha.

Yes they are non rolling and as they have not closed applications yet means you still have a chance.

Do you mean the VIs? Or why?

the actual test itself was fine although repetitive to stage one. The VI’s are scattered throughout.
It’s not a long assessment but it definitely requires brain power as there’s a written part after one of the vi’s. The written is untimed from what I gathered.

Extra time and adjustments are applied automatically if you put these in your application and I believe this may be a reason as to why it took soo long for me to progress as they apply these individually.

All the information is provided in the instructions, I think the main basis is to see how you think rather than blurting out how much you know about the firm.

I felt one of the video interview questions left me watching a video unnecessarily wasting prep time.

Do I think I passed? No absolutely not but happy to provide guidance to others where I can. I don’t know if the competition is more fierce than the past couple years but it seems that ppl are less inclined to trade/provide information on firms they’ve progressed with😛

I completed the test on the 8th and received the invite today. Hbu?

Did mine on the 2nd 😬 for my mental health’s sake, I’ll assume they’re sending them in no particular order

Hey. Please don't beat yourself up. I applied on the first day and got my invite on Monday. It's rolling, and different people in the team look at different applications. Wishing you all the best

Thank you for this honestly 🫶🏽🥲

Did they ask any motivational questions or was it all scenario based
